If it is not installed to MBR it will not work as far as when it boots.

If you want the lilo boot loader to be the boot for windows and vector. It needs to be placed on the MBR.

The MBR resides on the primary drive.

hi, sorry forgot to mention that LILO is installed in my MBR, first hd is HDa which is WIN. . and HDc as linux. . .

as per fresh install, LILO recognize my win and was added to its conf file, now i tried modifying lilo.conf (labels, timeout) it wen successful when i did run lilo in VL. .but was wondering why it did not took effect when the system restarted. . .

If you have more than one hard drive, you could possibly have change the boot order in your computer BIOS and had it work. That's how I changed mine, when I had installed the boot-loader on secondary drive. Of course that is probably the lazy way of doing it!
